“Acrobata” opens with a clear arpeggiated synth figure, immediately setting a rhythmic foundation. Rolling hi hats and repeating noise textures move underneath, giving the track a steady pulse. The groove feels controlled but alive, with subtle shifts in timbre keeping the opening section engaging.
As the piece develops, layered vocals begin to drift across the mix. They do not dominate the rhythm, but instead hover over it, adding depth and a new focal point. The orchestration gradually expands, with textures thickening and synthesizer tones widening the sonic field. There is an ambient quality to the arrangement, yet it maintains forward motion through its repeating patterns and percussion.
The sound palette remains focused. Built around the Juno 60 synthesizer and a live drum kit, the track balances electronic tone with organic pulse. The interplay between synth and percussion gives the music both precision and physicality. As the layers accumulate, the atmosphere grows denser, leaning toward a hypnotic, slightly psychedelic space.
“Acrobata” is the second single from the album Ora Sono Un Lago, recorded and produced by Francesco Donadello. The duo of Francesca Bono and Vittoria Burattini draw on influences including the avant garde films of Maya Deren, shaping a collection that merges kosmische textures, stripped electronica and oscillating psychedelia. On this track, that direction is clear. The structure is deliberate, the textures are carefully assembled, and the mood builds steadily without excess.
